Suddenly the Renaissance Fair article I am writing matters less and less in light of the explosions going on in Boston right now. It feels like more Bread and Circus, something to take your attention away from the ghoulishness of the society we live in. I DO know that we need these escapes from time to time, but that time is not now. Now is time to look into what is happening in our world and in our country and find some semblance of understanding so that we can better ourselves and each other. It is time to act like the first responders at the site of the blasts and run towards the problems and not shy away from the horrors of our world.
I personally will be keeping up on this tragic mayhem and concluding what best I can do to help.
